I can't tell you how excited I was to open the package filled with beautiful birthday surprises. I love the rub-ons and never had a professional tool. I love it all, the buttons, hearts, magnet with hearts, the recipe cards and all. Thank you for such a sweet package and birthday surprise, Doskie

Response: Glad you like it all and are able to use it! enjoy!!!
Thanks SO much for the heart!

Response: Phew, glad you found them and believe me, I understand. I lose things all the time in my purse and car! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: hi Cheryl, so funny that we live near each other. I wasn't expecting a swap package when I saw the return address :) please don't worry about the size of the bracelet, I love the orange and gold combo and actually I prefer bracelets I can put on and off myself. thank you!! Happy Halloween :)

Response: So glad you like it. Thanks for the heart and keep in touch, since we are so close! I get out there quite a bit. You know, the outlet's & all? lol

Comment: This is a lovely card; I wish the USPS would make pc's from images of every stamp issue (preferably 4x6 format), then have them available at every branch. In our minuscule corner of the world it's even hard to get stamps that aren't "the norm". I wish you a spa day - someday. I miss being able to go ...

Response: Thank you very much for the heart and the kind words. You should try ordering stamps online at USPS.com! They have a lot of choices! Good luck!

Comment: Cheryl!!!! OMG, I absolutely LOVE my package (in more than one way...on the package word:P) Everything is inspiring!! I will use everything!!! I finally got my dilly dong straw!!! I've wanted one for ages, lol!!! I can't say thanks enough for all the goodies you sent! Thank you!!!

Comment: Hi Cheryl - Loved your letter - I like to a little news about my swap partner and how you put together the ATC - a note or letter always gets a heart in my book :)
Your blingy tangled "I" is beautiful and very much appreciated too! Thank you. P.S. Emailing you . . .

Response: Cathy, your email and your rating are much appreciated! Thank you so much for the heart and your kind words! Since there are still more letters, hopefully we'll "see" more of each other!

Comment: Thanks so much for the goodies for my car! I certainly can use the tire gauge...just got new tires so I need to keep them properly inflated. I tend to get lost so the compass is just right! And I love to have air freshners in the car and the one that hangs on the vent is clever. I'll keep the wipes in the car.

Comment: This was a fun swap! When I took the box out of the mailbox, I thought it was the one I sent and returned to me because I used a Brown Sugar box, too! ha ha
Well I absolutely loved everything in there with all the purple and ribbons. A purple button magnet - cool! The postcards and ephemera are outstanding.
So I'd have to say the Day of the Dead postcards and purple leopard ribbon were my favorites. Thanks so very much!!

Comment: Thank-you! I love it! That is too funny that we used the same duct tape! :D
I really like the closure you did,too. And you put coins in it! :D

Response: I know, I laughed too when I saw the tape you used! :) As for the coins, it's an old "wvestale" that you should never give a purse/wallet to anyone without even $1.00 in it. Suppose to make it so it"s always full. lol.....thanks for the swap & the heart!!

Comment: Wow! I feel like you really put time into this. Great job!!!! And I feel like you kind of went all out even, adding pages and stickers and mailing in a priority box.

Comment: Hi... Good to hear from you. I love the interesting card of Los Angeles City! Your rainy day ideas sound like great fun. Bet you pray for rain sometimes! ha,ha
Since I was a kid, I have loved watching lightening, too. My father used to sit on the front porch with us kids, and sometimes Mama would join us, and we would ooh and ahh over the brilliant lightening bolts and claps of window rattling thunder. That was in Georgia where we really had some fierce rain and lightening storms, usually at night. See you around! ~Gail

Response: Sounds like good times! Good to hear from you too!
Thanks for the heart!

Comment: This is one of the most incredible cards I have ever seen. Amazing... It is breathtaking.

Thanks for the heart!!!

Comment: Thank you for everything! I loved it all, especially the Illinois badge, how neat!!! Can't wait to use some of the little baubles I'm so excited!
Don't worry, this project got me all frustrated too! I ended up putting sooo many layers on mine I think my partner is going to need a hacksaw to get through it!!

Response: I'm SO glad you like it. I found that Illinois badge here in California, since I'm from Chgo, thought it was kinda cool. I'm glad I held onto it for a Illinois person! I hope the shape held up in transpo! Thanks for the heart!!!

Comment: Hi, Cheryl! Your postcard really made me smile. Thank you for the very kind words. In a time when educators sometimes feel besieged, it really feels great to hear respect for the work I do. Happy swapping!

Roseann

Comment: Hi Cheryl! We don't snow either here in San Antonio, Tx. My students are always asking when it will snow and as a science teacher I go into my lecture of the atmospheric conditions that we need. I feel like it's my fault most of the time. How silly! Thanks for the postcard. Have a great day:)
Roseann

Response: Oh you poor thing, I'd hate to have to explain that. But you could show pictures of the BAD,like kids shoveling snow. That would fix 'em! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: thank you SO much - you did a WONDERFUL job of picking things for me - I had no clue that wine journals existed, and had just been jotting things down and trying to keep track. This will help so much, and I'm looking forward to seeing what new crockpot recipes I can try :)

YUM And the extra fibers are great. I can always use them. Thanks.

Comment: I LOVE the items you sent!

Comment: Hi Cheryl,
I know I am late in sending my ATC out. I am sorry. I finally found a genie image. So it will be in the mail on Monday. Thank you very much for your ATC. Yours is Great and I am not saying that because we know each other. I love it.
I hope you will like mine. Have a great weekend. Sorry again.
Thanks for the pretty card too.

Comment: Loved the package. Thank you for the book, it's one I haven't read and I look forward to reading it. My youngest took one look at the little radio and adopted it, she loves it, it makes her feel like one of the big kids. They also can't wait to watch the movies.

Response: Phew.......glad you didn't read the book. It's one of the last books I "physically"read. Short stories I can do, but don't like to anymore! I have to "read" by CD now. I sent the little radio, hoping one of your kids would like it! :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thank you again for the wonderful package. Mostly for being a very thoughtful person by thinking of my grand-daughter and sending her a beautiful ribbon princess crown. Many hearts to you!

Comment: My in-laws lived in Elmhurst, and my son and his wife live in Mundelein. I understand why you might want to avoid Chicago in the winter! I can remember the ground being frozen so hard it hurt your feet to walk on it. Thanks. The DustCollector

Comment: Thank you for the recipe, and the extra map card! I've always wondered what kugel was, now I know! (have you tried this before?)

Response: I grew up eating it. It's really good, try not to let it get too dried out while baking, but you don't want it too liquidy either. I love it plain without fruit, but everyone has different tastes! Thanks for the heart!!
